Default Convert to Number Issue

Hi everybody,

I'm facing a simple , but annoying problem...which is driving me crazy...

154000 lines of information where extracted from a corporative database by a
third party for me. These lines
are in 16 .xls, distributed in 640 Sheets. The export process almost workly
perfectly, except for the fact that it showed up the classical 'Convert text
to number' problem. I tried some tricks to automate the corretion of this
problem, to try to turn everything in number, but no sucess.

It seems the only way is to to do manually that multiply by one excel hint...

But it is a lot of handwork to do that in all thesse sheets and files....
The Sheets have some columns with number and other with text...

SOmeone have any idea?

(I already now how to cycle automatically betwen all files and sheets...just
need the piece of code to solve the number issue)


Thanks in advance,
Cleber
